The child was treated for a scraped knee, a cut on her forehead and minor burns from the van's air bag.
Forty-two-year-old Lisa Lavoie told police the accelerator must have stuck when the child mashed it down.
The crash happened over the weekend near the family's home in central Florida.
Police contacted child welfare authorities, who left the girl in her parents' custody. Her father was in the van but not injured.
